1 day before...
Gavin just finished his session with a patient and is about to leave for home when he heard a knock on the door in his office.
He opened the door and saw someone put some cloth on his face and dragged him out of his office. Gavin struggled to get out of that person's grip but he did not succeed. he tried to yell but the guy put his hand and to stop him from screaming. So he decided to stay calm and go along because he was afraid that they might hurt him if to create too much fuss and the camera's outside his clinic will be capturing all this and someone might come to help him when they notice. Gavin was not able to see anything he just heard two people talking and dragging him somewhere.
After few minutes of walking, Gavin realized they might have been reached the main gate by now but he was confused why nobody is stopping them guards are always surrounded by the office. So he gets to the conclusion they might have knocked them out.
A car stopped right in front of him and he was pushed into the car. Now sitting in the car not able to see and talk Gavin was searching for answers to his own questions. Why are they kidnapping him? What do they want? Does this something to do with his mom? As he was thinking all of a sudden the car stopped and people pushed him out of the car and dragged him into a house.
Now Gavin can feel he is sitting on a sofa and no one is around him. He was really scared of what is going to happen next when suddenly he heard footsteps walking towards him and stopped right in front of him. And a few seconds later he felt a hand on his face. he was really scared
"w...what do you want?" Gavin asked
just then someone removed the cloth from his face. Gavin felt the bright light hitting his eyes hard and when he got his senses back he saw a person standing before him and his eyes went wide in shock.
"joe???!!!!!!"
Joe was smiling widely. joe is Gavin's friend since high school.
"Yes my prince your prince is here," Joe said with an overdramatic opening his arms wide and proud look on this face.
"You a**hole.... what is all this shit?" Gavin was so furious.
"Calm down my prince it was just to surprise you". joe replied while smirking.
Gavin stood up while facing his friend "What..... surprise? I was about to lose my life due to a heart attack. Who surprises someone like this, bullshit?" joe laughed
"Not funny," Gavin said with a serious tone.
"It is funny Gavin. it is really funny... if you can see your face... you will know how funny this is" joe was smirking again.
Gavin got angry and run towards his friend who was now running for his life.
"You a**hole come here" Gavin yelled as he was running after his friend.
After getting exhausted from running Gavin finally stopped and sat on the sofa. Seeing Gavin sitting Joe also stopped and sat next to him.
"Sorry, my prince... I just wanted to surprise you," Joe said in a soft tone to express his apology.
"If you ever did this again, I am going to stab you with a knife" Gavin said after catching his breath.
"Was it that serious of a suprise?" Joe never thought this joke might hurt Gavin. "Sorry I will not do this again" now Joe was really concerned and apologetic.
Gavin smirk and said, "serve you right a**hole".
Seeing Gavin was joking around "you bitchy prince you were kidding me. I will get you for this"
"Okay now. Tell me when you got back?" Gavin asked
"This morning, and planed all this just to see you. You never call or came to visit me so I decided to come to you" Joe said with a pouty face.
"Sorry, bud... I got really busy."
Joe got a naughty idea "no you need to be punished for your behavior"
Gavin was glaring at Joe and said "punish. What are, we.... five?"
"No matter how old you are you got to be punished. So now listen to me carefully tomorrow is Saturday and you are going to be a waiter in one of my café" Joe smirk
Gavin got irritated with the rubbish idea of his friend "Are you kidding me? I am not going... plus I have a busy schedule."
Joe said "I know you don't have any schedules tomorrow I talked with Kyle earlier"
"That loose-mouthed Kyle. I am going to fire him someday soon" Gavin was cursing Kyle in this mind for selling him out.
"So now it's decided you are going to do it. And I will take it as punishment for not visiting me for the last 2 years." Joe said
Gavin does feel bad for not contacting Joe as he was the only friend for helped him a lot from coping with Chris's death. Joe stood by him, cheer him up. Even when Joe went to study in America he still keep in contact, always make time to video call and visit Gavin every 6 months. But last few years Gavin got really busy and took fewer and fewer calls from Joe.
So Gavin decided to satisfy his friend's desire of punishing him even though it was totally foolish idea.
"Okay I'll do it"
Joe smiled and hugged Gavin "it's really good to be back. Now let's go and have dinner"
After that, both went for dinner and talked a lot remembering the old memories. Joe told Gavin time and place to serve his punishment.
--------Next day-------
Now Gavin is in one of Joe's café. After one hour of serving and cleaning tables, Gavin realized it is not as bad as he thought it was. The staff is really friendly and the customers are also polite and sweet. He was starting to enjoy this until he went to a table to serve a customer who came alone and that customer grabbed his hand while he was about to leave.
"I was looking for you all over the city and here you are". Mike said.
Gavin got confused "sir I think you got the wrong person," he said while trying the pull his hand out of Mike's hold. But Mike was not letting him go.
"No… you the only person I am looking for... What's your name? Where you live? Is this your regular job? " Mike was so excited and he was smiling so widely that got Gavin scared thinking he might be pervert or freak.
Gavin calm himself down and said "sir can you let go of my hand first? You are hurting me" with a little smile on his face. Mike realized he is gripping his hand tightly he instantly let go of his hand.
"oh, I am sorry. I just got too excited...." mike paused for a sec and then blurt out "Can we go on a date? I love you..."
"whaaat?....." Gavin can't believe what he just heard he looked at him with wide eyes in shock.
